State of Origin Rep

If there's any man in this squad that deserves their own whinge thread, it's this spud. I've been among many saying it all year and right now we're feeling pretty vindicated, I would've thought.

The bloke is pus. Being a purely defensive hooker is hardly that useful when the side is so constantly being dominated in and around the ruck. He's been coasting along on his 50 tackles a game for too long. His passing is slow and predictable, he doesn't direct his players around the park like a Smith would, he has a decent kicking boot which he never uses anyway, but where he is comfortably at his worst is his dummy half running. Good lord is it bad. He never makes more than 5 or so metres per run and he keeps on doing it as if it's useful.

Considering the quality we will be commanding elsewhere next year, surely we can do better than this in one of the most important positions on the field. He's had over 200 games to become a better player and he hasn't. If anything he's gone backwards.

State of Origin Rep

When the player that handles the ball more than any other player, the player that dictates how effective our attacking plays pan out, makes bad decisions in attack, totally stuffs up the whole rhythm of our attacking plays by stuttering when we need clean, crisp service, then it is time to remove said player.

Jake Turpin tackles like Gillmeister and runs like Granville used to but hey he’s apparently not in the Bennett club or so it seems. Don’t give me any of that ‘not experienced enough’ crap, I saw what the so called experienced ones served up this afternoon.

Is that actually true though? I mean he is certainly one of the players who rarely gets mentioned despite dummying and bombing a certain try to Parker in the 2015 GF, which could certainly be argued as a massive reason for losing that game.

Is it a coincidence that the side has looked better much better when Turpin has been at hooker this year?

I don’t actually think so. His service was fucking pus today. Milf had a day to forget, but it can’t be easy trying to get the team moving forward when you’re either catching the ball on your toes, behind you, or above your head. I’m a fat, unfit bloke who hasn’t played footy for 12 years but I can pass better than this bloke.

State of Origin Rep

Macca is actually making Mitch rein look sharp this year. Honestly. I think his head knocks have caught up with him. I bloody love him, and he has never disgraced himself in a Broncos jersey, but it’s no surprise he was at his best in 2015 when we had niko off the bench.

I'm not saying he is the answer I like how Turpin looks, I liked parcell and I was always a fan of baptiste but there are a few areas that need to be fixed to be a competitive team each week, for example nikorima's defence costs us on a Regular basis or Boyd's positioning when's teams kick behind the line

We had all the momentum today and then the following set after a try Macca takes a scoot from dummy half and spills the ball. The dragons scored after that and changed the game completely. Not great from a rep player with 200+ nrl games under his belt.
